Blue Hole

We ventured off to another swimming hole in the Texas Country Side with some of our friends....Towering Cypress Trees, Blue Water, Green Grass, turtles, fish, rope swings, and grazing cattle. It felt like we were in a Mark Twain novel on some childhood adventure!! The guys could have stayed there for hours trying to perfect their rope swing tricks....

Here are a few photos

Here is russ on the rope swing......poetry in motion! (Obviously that is NOT Russ in the background saying he is going to do a "double".....)

Bounce House

Fountain Fun

In downtown there is an awesome park with illuminating fountains....it is quite a show and rather fun to play in!! Who needs the Bellagio?

Garden

Yum!

we are loving the results of our garden!! The little one loves cucumbers!!

New Use!

Ah ha use for a diaper--- cushion his head from potential bumps!!! It was late and we thought we were so funny. luckily so did he! What a sport!

Parks and Recreation

Me and the boy went to the downtown park to ride the train and enjoy some fresh air....we had so much fun that after Russ got off work we headed back out for a walk along the river that runs through downtown.

"feeding" the turtles & skipping rocks...the little guy loves to throw rocks into the water...the turtles swam up to us in droves in hopes that we had something tasty....

A good view of the river and the downtown skyline where nature and city merge.

Some lovely turtles....there were several swimming around the river and catching some rays!

Random photo: A million PINK flamingos on the side of the road. (yes, they are fake.... and no, you don't see a lot of flamingos stuck in peoples front lawns here.....)
